The Many Models of Industrial Trolleys
By: Paul
Industrial trolleys, in simple terms, are a trolley used within a commercial or factory atmosphere. The industrial trolleys are used today in hundreds of ways by numerous businesses and focus on the transporting of goods from one place to another.
Industrial trolleys are L-shaped moveable tools with handles at one end, wheels at the base, and a small platform to set objects on. The reason this trolley is referred to as L shaped is that when the platform is flat against the floor and its standing in an upright position, the trolley resembles the letter L. While the industrial trolley is in its standing position, it can be loaded easily with items from the ground- as its platform lies flat against the ground. The operator only needs to tilt the trolley down slightly and inserted underneath the box or item to be moved. Once the trolley is placed under the item to be moved, the trolley can be tilted back so the box is resting on the small platform and balanced on its two wheels. When the industrial trolley is balancing on its two wheels-the movement of the trolley is swift and simple.
The operator of an industrial trolley doesn’t need to apply any extra muscle or strength as the technical L shape design supports all the weight and does all the work of transporting large and heavy goods.
Some industrial trolleys are equipped with specialty stair climbing wheels that assist with manipulating stairs while using the trolley. Stair climber wheels can sometimes be troublesome when trying to turn on hard surfaces as four wheels in a fixed position will be in direct contact with the ground.
Industrial trolleys are fabricated from many different types of materials; steel, aluminum, and high impact plastics. Most industrial trolleys are used for beverage and food service deliveries are rugged and very light weight. They are usually designed from two aluminum or steel side rails and cast aluminum or steel parts.
Luggage trolley-These trolleys are made for transporting large heavy luggage and are often seen in airports and train stations.
Folding trolley-This trolley is very helpful when its user is limited in storage space. This trolley folds up flat and can be stored under shelves or cabinets and in many small locations.
Battery powered stair climbing trolley-This trolley is the identical stair climbing trolley with the addition of a battery powered motor
Narrow aisle trolley– This trolley, as the title states, is made with a narrow design so that it fits down limited space aisles and tighter locations.
Drum handler trolley– This is a very specific trolley custom made to handle up to 55 gallon drums and often sports a drum dispenser.
Combination drum and hand trolley-These are a great idea for the manufacturer that requires some drum transporting as well as other goods within its warehouse.
When in the market to purchase an industrial trolley, there are some options you should be considering; are the type of wheels and their size, accessories needed (stair climbers), handle type and weight capacity.
Always be prepared before you shop for a trolley, with your project specs, to ensure you get the best possible tool to fit your needs.
